Everyone knows Japan loves their Pokemon.
What some people may not know is how much love Zoids get in Japan too. In fact, Japanese artist 太斗 even created an entire series of Pokemon inspired Zoids. Even if you are unfamiliar with Pokemon or Zoids these creations are still truly impressive!

The gaming community always has a lot of hidden talents.
Overwatch, a multi-player and team-based first person shooter created by Blizzard, has some extremely artistic fans as well! Believe me, EVERY character gets some love too. EVERY. CHARACTER.

The Walking Disney has been seen by MANY people by now.
Artist Kasami-Sensei has been working on it since 2014 after all. The roster keeps growing and growing though and has yet to disappoint! Check out the current Disney and Pixar Walking Dead inspired line up and see just how big Kasami-Sensei has made it grow!

About: For some people playing video games is their life. They just can’t live without playing video games. Twenty two year old Mai Yashiro is NOT this kind of person. One day a video game console containing the game Nightmare arrives in her mail. Now Mai is forced to play this game where she must bet the functioning of her limbs in each fight. Refusal means the death of your loved ones. Luckily the office she works in has created an entire division of dedicated players who work tirelessly to reach the end game and she is now a part of it. Will they be able to beat the game or are they all in over their heads?

This manga is based on a popular light novel (although no matter how hard I search I am unable to find a working link to it). Despite her lack of gaming knowledge Mai proves herself to be incredibly clever and an excellent strategist… which I imagine proves useful in a game that is essentially ‘git gud or die trying’!

So why should you read this manga? Of course this is not the first time a story about a video game that puts your life on the line has appeared but don’t let that put you off! The story is incredibly well written and the art flows well. You’ll find yourself attached to certain characters rather quickly. Plus, the art is seriously well done!

Pokemon meets Dungeons and Dragons in this epic crossover!
Artist and Cosplayer SunsetDragon created these beautifully designed DnD class costumes inspired by the various evolutions of the pokemon Eevee.Free for cosplay use, all she asks is that you submit a photo of yourself in costume to her and link to her page. My favorite is the Umbreon Theif!
